BRIEF 04:MUSEUM OF CHILDHOOD//CONTACTING THE MUSEUM//OUGD603

contacting the museum of childhood.
After developing my idea and ways in which I could get research I sent this email to the museum to see if they could contribute to collecting visuals for the project.

Hi,

My name is Kathryn Brooks and I'm currently studying BA (Hons) Graphic Design at Leeds college of Art in my final year.  On our course this year we have been given the task of writing up all our own briefs to cater for our own personal interests and design direction.  

Im from London and would often visit the museum as a child.  For one of my briefs I have included the museum as a main focus, looking at creating promotional material and some form of a museum guide. This work is obviously for educational purposes only and will only be assessed as part of my work in final year and will not be distributed.

As part of my research and visual development I was hoping to collect a number of quick (two minute) A5 sketches of peoples favourite childhood toys, they wouldn't have to be drawn well at all, this is just part of idea development and collecting visuals.  I was hoping to get a variety of ages to take part as this broadens the results and also shows a small history of childhood through the years.

I was wondering if it was possible to get some of the children from your learning programmes to take part at the beginning of a session and just quickly draw up their favourite childhood toy/possession?

I understand you are busy and the museum may not be able to contribute to my research but any help would be really appreciated.

Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you.

Kathryn Brooks
